GEOGRAPHICAL GL Application ined May 29, 13 3 My invention relates more particularly to aractet, i, geographical globes mounted preferably to 'I 1;; S QOI rotate about an airis extending coincident f with the polar extremities ofthe globe and .5ghaving a dial With hour-indicating markings thereon equidistantly spaced about the circumference ofV the dial and preferably twenty-four in number to correspond With' b the twenty-four hours of a day, these markuri: ings registeringwith the terminal ends of the meridian lines of the globe so that by following down the meridian lines the abso.- lute or relative time at any place indicated on the globe may be determined, the dial be any. ing rotatable relative to the globe so that the time at any place indicated on the globe relative to another placcindicated thereon may be determined.

My primary object is to provide a con- -gq struction of geographicalV globe structure having a dial of the character above men tioned whereby mutilating, or otherwise damaging, the surface of the globe in the rota-tion of the dial, Will l e prevented. 25j Referring to the accompanying drawing: Figure l is a plan view of a geographical globe structure constructed in accordance with my invention.

' While have illustratedl and described a' particular construction embodying my invention, I do not wish to be understood as intending to limit it thereto as the same may be modified and altered without departing from f the spirit of my invention.

What I claim as new, and desire tosecureY Y 1- Yby Letters Patent, is:
